Israel Adesanya, the UFC middleweight champion, is set to bring his story to life in a documentary entitled ‘Stylebender.’
The MMA star has had quite a journey throughout his life. From being an immigrant child to an MMA superstar, Adesanya has had to overcome many obstacles.
The documentary will focus on the road to stardom from his humble beginnings that resulted in him being a kickboxing champion and a champion within the UFC on two occasions.
And now Adesanya has revealed the motivation about bringing his story to life by countering the narrative over toxic masculinity.
The Main Character. #Player1 🎮🍿
Even if I wasn’t the protagonist, I’d implore everybody to see this film (especially men). We can’t keep living like this, fake masculinity and lack of emotional intelligence…let me show you brothers a true way of being, love and care for… pic.twitter.com/4DjlKkjRtr— Israel Adesanya (@stylebender) August 4, 2023
If this is something you fancy checking out, the documentary will be released on September 28th, 2023. There will be a chance for an early viewing, however, at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.
